New Source of Lead Poisoning.

The latest danger to sewing women IS
reported by DR.. Arthur Y. Meigs, WHO
tells of case of marked lead poisoning
in q tailor, which he attributes to the use
Of sewing silk treated with sugar of lead
to give it weight, and especially to the
habit Of biting off such thread. 1t is
probable that many sewing women suffer
from the results of this habit, although
the poisoning is not often produced in
such intensity as to lead them to consul!

Important Land Decision.
A Washington special says: In the
decision recently rendered by the secre-
tary OF the interior, overruling the ac-
ton of the commissioner of the general
land Office canceling the homestead en-
try of Samuel Wild of the southeast
quarter of the southeast quarter, sec
ton 5, town 102, range 50, Mitchell
Oak land district, the principle is reit-
Grated that settler may, if necessity
many require, leave his land for stated
periods for the purpose of earning a
livelihood, without in any way injuring
his rights. Wild, in company with his
son, conducted a small tailor shop in
the town of Mitchell, and was an indus
trious man of good habits. He took up
the above forty acres under the home
stead law for the purpose of making
home for himself in time, and securing
q garden whereon he could raise vege-
tables and grain, and add in that way to
his income as tailor. He showed good
faith in making his improvements by
building substantial house 12x14 feet.
and began residence upon the land.
He went to the land on Saturday, spent
night, Sunday and Sunday
night there, and not infrequently visit
ed the land during the week for the pur-
pose of perfecting his residence, his
business as tailor, however, compelling
him to remain in town and preventing

been construed by the general land
office. Dec. 81. 1884, he applied to CON-
mute the land, and offered his proof of
residence and the payment of the pur-
chase money. It was satisfactory to
The local land officers, but the commits
sioner of the general land Office rejected

additional evidence Of residence. TheI
